Magazine Heaven

My favorite Linux magazine, Linux Format (out of the UK) has some interesting news:




  • A very nice podcast, which can be found at Tux Radar. Three editors talk about a wide range of Linux subjects. I have been finding it very entertaining, even if they don't have their RSS feed tags quite set up correctly.

  • They offered up a free download of their issue 116, the KDE issue. The zip file with the 3 torrents (hires, lowres, and ISO) for it is here. Very nice job!

  • And most excitingly, as they announced at the end of their latest podcast, a deal on the subscription! It's hard to justify the US$130 in these tough economic times, even if it is the best Linux magazine going. But if you follow this link, you can subscribe for "only" US$95, which is a pretty good deal for 13 issues. Linux Format sub deal



Every issue is just jammed packed with great info, from news to in depth technical tutorials. I love the mix of articles, and I love the layout. Very clean look, well edited and good stories. I highly recommend it!



Linux Journal also recently had a special ($12 for 12 issues) but I'm pretty sure that was just a day long one. However, they do have a contest to give out some free subscriptions to the digital version. You can get more details here.
